Where For Art Thou, Altaya?

Altaya 1:43 scale German Sd. Kfz. 141 PzKpfw III Ausf. G Medium Tank – 13. Panzer Kompanie Mielke, Netherlands, September 1944

It appears as though we’re still a way’s off from receiving any of the Altaya 1:43 scale armored fighting vehicles. Apparently, the manufacturer is starting to re-use some of their existing molds to produce an array of follow-on vehicles, thereby amortizing the molds and giving the series fresh legs. The line now encompasses some 107 releases with no signs of abating. Some vehicles, such as their Panther tank, has been reincarnated three times so we’re going to assume that each vehicle that has already been made will be resurrected in one form or another.

We’re still hoping to get the ball rolling some time in 2020 once Altaya has completed the series and moved on to other projects. Its an important range that fills in a niche market at a very affordable price.
